Stephen Colbert broke it all down in his opening of Thursday's "The Late Show," first looking back on what Sessions said during his confirmation hearing - that he had no communications with the Russian government during Trump's campaign for president - versus what he admitted to at his Thursday press conference: He met with the Russian ambassador in his capacity as a member of the Senate's armed services panel.
"Honey, I wasn't having sex with her as your husband," Colbert joked. "I was humping her in my capacity as a member of the armed services panel."
Colbert then hit Sessions harder for the damaging revelation.
"You called yourself a campaign surrogate, then you lied under oath that you never met with the Russians," Colbert said of Sessions. "So you don't have to recuse yourself. You've already f---ed yourself."
Congress has begun its Russia investigation, headed by House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes. In a statement on the parameters, it notes that the investigation on whether Russia tampered with the election is "on a bipartisan basis" and the committee will "collect and follow that evidence wherever it leads."
"Well, bring a flashlight, cause it's pretty dark up Putin's butt," Colbert said, referring to the Russian president.
